The Second Amendment debate has taken a new turn, and all eyes are now on the U.S. Supreme Court as it considers whether to take on State v. Wilson , a case with the potential to reshape the landscape of gun rights in America. At the heart of the issue is Hawaii’s stringent requirement for permits to carry firearms in public. State v. Wilson poses a significant question: does a state’s licensing requirement infringe upon the Second Amendment right to bear arms? With a scheduled conference on November 1, 2024, this case could mark a major shift—not by expanding gun rights, but by restoring them to the people, where they rightfully belong. The background of State v. Wilson is rooted in Hawaii’s restrictive stance on public firearm carry, requiring residents to obtain a permit to carry guns outside their homes. The state justifies these measures as essential for public safety, given its unique cultural and legal history. However, opponents argue that these restrictions are unconstitutio...

Beverly Hills, CA—Eric and Lyle Menendez were born into a family deeply entrenched in the entertainment industry. Their father, Jose Menendez, was a successful entertainment executive, having held prominent positions at RCA Records and later as the president of LIVE Entertainment (also known as International Video Entertainment), a major company in film production and distribution. His influence helped shape the entertainment landscape during the 1980s, making the Menendez family a powerful name in Hollywood. It’s fair to assume that other relatives of the Menendez brothers remain influential in the entertainment industry. This family network could have the reach and resources to greenlight projects that reshape public perception, making the creation and promotion of films about these two infamous brothers a strategic move. With the case already high-profile, leveraging such media influence today to cast them in a sympathetic light isn’t far-fetched. As a result, it seems the Menen...

New York, NY —Kamala Harris and her allies on the radical left have sunk to new lows, slandering Donald Trump and his supporters by branding them as Nazis. They shamelessly insinuate that Trump’s campaign rally at Madison Square Garden is akin to the 1939 pro-Nazi event held there. This vile comparison crosses every conceivable boundary. These political agitators, propped up by their willing accomplices in the media, have weaponized lies and crossed into outright criminal behavior with their defamatory rhetoric. Their objective is clear: to tarnish the image of MAGA and cast it in a negative light. Yet MAGA stands for nothing but the noble goal of restoring America’s greatness. At the rally, an immense and truly diverse crowd came together—Americans of every race, religion, and background. Their shared vision? A country of greater freedom, reduced taxes, peace instead of endless wars, and neighborhoods free from crime and decay. There is absolutely no parallel between Trump supporters...

The Harris/Walz campaign has crossed into dangerous territory, igniting the flames of violent extremism and openly embracing assassination as a political strategy. Lacking any legitimate platform or vision, they have abandoned reasoned discourse, replacing it with a relentless campaign of hate, vilification, and outright incitement against President Trump. This is not about policy; it’s about destruction, division, and control at any cost. They cynically label Trump as a “fascist,” “Nazi,” and “dictator,” echoing the chilling words of Joseph Goebbels: “If you tell a lie often enough, it becomes the truth.” They seem intent on turning lies into weapons, hoping that their incendiary language will incite violence. Already, there have been two attempts on Trump’s life, and the dangerous rhetoric from the Democrats suggests they believe that “the third time’s the charm.” Their words are a loaded weapon aimed directly at the heart of our Republic. This is not merely irresponsible; it is a c...

    Let’s Talk About “Grope”: A Hands-On Guide to the World’s Most Awkward Word (Especially When Running for political Office) Welcome to the world of  grope , a word with more layers than an overstuffed burrito. Today, I’m here to help you unpack all the ways we (awkwardly) stumble into situations where this term is oddly accurate. Let’s dive in, definition style, and embrace the art of  grope — the  innocent , the  mental , and the  definitely illegal. Ah, the classic move: the  courting grope . In the history of humanity’s clumsiest flirtations, this maneuver has somehow survived every social evolution. Men, with their fearless approach to “testing the waters,” might see a grope as the ultimate dare in the courting process — a bold attempt to break the touch barrier, sometimes without realizing that barriers exist for a reason. Women, on the other hand, are generally not hardwired for such tactics. Instead, they’ve mastered subtleties like eye ...

Los Angeles, CA—One of the perks of being a Screen Actors Guild member is exclusive access to film screenings. This time, it was at the stunning theater at Paramount Studios, where not only did I see the film, but I got to meet the talented cast and the young visionary Swiss director, Tim Fehlbaum. “September 5” transports viewers back to the Munich Olympics of 1972—a global celebration of athleticism that quickly spiraled into a nightmare. The world watched in shock as Palestinian terrorists, under the name Black September, launched a calculated attack, kidnapping and brutally murdering 11 Israeli athletes and coaches, along with a German policeman. Helping orchestrate the horror were infamous German radicals Andreas Baader and Ulrike Meinhof, making the tragedy even more chilling. What sets this film apart is its unique perspective: we experience the horror through the eyes of ABC News sports reporters and producers, who were on-site in Munich, covering the Olympics. Imagine using t...

Los Angeles, CA— We’ve seen time and again how a media-created narrative can have a decisive impact on a jury’s verdict. If the media sows doubt, you have a chance. If they condemn you, you’re likely finished. But wait! Jurors are instructed to avoid media coverage, right? In reality, judicial admonishments are often ignored, and jurors regularly turn to Google to dig up information. The percentage of jurors violating these rules is alarmingly close to 100%. Some defense attorneys seek media attention not necessarily to help their clients but to elevate their own careers. Take the Scott Peterson case, for example. What could have been a routine murder trial in Modesto, California, turned into an international sensation, largely because Peterson’s defense lawyer courted publicity. Scott Peterson wasn’t convicted by the evidence alone but by the loud commentary of media personalities like Nancy Grace. Grace capitalized on Peterson’s deceptive behavior and infidelity to paint him as a ...

Los Angeles, CA—Throughout my career as a criminal defense investigator, I’ve had the opportunity to work on numerous cases, including several pro bono efforts for those who couldn’t afford a skilled and aggressive investigator. The work involved in criminal defense investigations is not only expensive but also incredibly time-consuming and, at times, exhausting. In many cases, clients are not always forthcoming and can lead you on a wild goose chase, which makes the work even more challenging. Sometimes, the best you can hope for is uncovering mitigating circumstances that disprove any evil intent. Other times, you’re fortunate enough to encounter cases where people are truly innocent, unfairly targeted due to sloppy police work. Unfortunately, when that happens, the cover-up by authorities often begins. Historically, the compensation for investigators working indigent defense cases has been too low to justify the time and effort involved. However, recent changes have made it financia...

  Los Angeles, CA—Crime here is an out-of-control, raging dumpster fire. The odds of getting stabbed or shot on public transit are better than hitting the jackpot. For decades, liberal politicians have been falling all over themselves to pass every gun ban they could push through. Did it slow down the criminals? Not a snowball's chance in hell. All it did was make the streets a safer place—for the predators. These lowlifes are free to rob, sexually assault, and brutalize the elderly and the weak without fear of resistance. Los Angeles is cursed with the worst possible leadership—a mayor who couldn’t care less and a county board packed with leftist lunatics. Their solution? Keep the public unarmed, defenseless, and ripe for the picking. Meanwhile, the police force is gutted by manpower shortages, and those who are left are shackled by counterproductive policies that do more to protect criminals than citizens. The Second Amendment is crystal clear: Americans have the right to arm the...

Phoenix, AZ — Some crimes are so horrific that a quick death for the perpetrator feels justified. But our criminal justice system has a fundamental flaw: the standard of proof, “beyond a reasonable doubt.” This nebulous term has become a source of injustice, particularly in capital cases. Having witnessed numerous criminal trials, including those where the death penalty was at stake, I’ve seen firsthand the confusion over what “reasonable doubt” really means. It’s a vague standard that varies from one juror to the next. And when the crime is especially heinous, that ambiguity can lead to false convictions. People, naturally outraged by terrible acts, can be eager to punish, and often that means overlooking the very doubt that should protect the innocent. I’ve come to despise the term “beyond a reasonable doubt,” because I’ve watched as innocent people were convicted, and in other cases, where the convicted might have been innocent. Worse, I’ve seen law enforcement and prosecutors...

Los Angeles, CA – The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping industries across the globe, and there’s no doubt it’s putting many jobs at risk. High-paying professions, such as radiologists who read medical images like x-rays, CAT scans, and MRIs, are discovering that AI can interpret these images with greater accuracy. The medical community is just beginning to feel the effects of this change, and it’s clear the landscape will continue to evolve rapidly. The legal profession is also being turned upside down by AI. Lawyers, once considered irreplaceable for their expertise, are finding that AI can offer legal advice, generate documents, and guide individuals through complex legal processes. With a few prompts, people can have AI draft legal filings and tell them how to proceed, essentially transforming them into their own legal advocates. The era where AI can turn anyone into a virtual Clarence Darrow is upon us. The entertainment industry is another sector facing major di...

Chicago, IL – You’ve just heard your local news anchor confidently tell you that despite how it may seem, crime in the Windy City is actually on the decline. But you have to ask yourself, is crime really slowing down, or is someone massaging the numbers with a pencil? I don’t care what your mayor or the news media says, especially in large cities – the police chief or superintendent does not set policy. Mayors never give up that control. The police brass get their marching orders and either follow them or get replaced. Statistical deception is only limited by the creativity or lack thereof by those in charge of presenting the numbers. The term often thrown around is “killing crime.” Here’s how it works: police reports are categorized on forms generated by the department. The system, created by the FBI, divides crimes into Part One offenses (the most serious) and Part Two offenses (less serious), all under the Uniform Crime Reporting system (UCR). Take burglary as an example. A bur...
